After the secondary occupation reached the maximum level, I wore it

Shi Yu had long had the idea of ​​hiring servants to handle worldly affairs so that she could concentrate on her cultivation. However, she was alone in the Yuan Realm and had many secrets of her own, so it was difficult for her to find someone who was completely reliable and trustworthy enough.

Chen Er came from the mortal world and had a simple background. After spending so much time together, Yu had also gotten to know his character and knew that this man was kind-hearted and trustworthy, making him a good candidate.

When he was practicing in the sect before, Shi Yu didn’t have such thoughts.

However, now, due to the conflict with Lu Yujiao, Chen Er was targeted in the sect and could not even get that meager monthly salary, let alone the resources for cultivation.

Instead of accepting any bounty, it is better to work for yourself.

"I am cultivating here and have many mundane affairs to deal with. Are you willing to help me?" Shi Yu said calmly, "You can consider it as employment. If you help me do these errands, I will also pay you spirit stones as salary. How about it?"

But Chen Er shook his head, his face solemn and respectful: "Sir, why do you ask for a reward? You saved my life. Whatever you want me to do, I will do my best. Just tell me what you want me to do."

Shi Yu smiled and said, "I need you to work for me for a long time, how can I always send you away based on personal feelings?"

Hearing this, Chen Er scratched his head: "Then, what does the young master need me to do?"

"I will rent a house for you near here, and you can come and cook for me every day." Shi Yu took out a bag of Linggu rice from the life-knocking bell, "Use this."

Chen Er took it, holding the bag in his hand, and nodded heavily.

"Rice in the field needs to be watered once a day."

"Every few days, go to Tongyi Pavilion to sell spiritual talismans and buy spiritual materials for me."

"Also, when you go out, pay more attention to recent events. If there is any news worth noting, let me know."

As Shi Yu spoke, Chen Er took notes and nodded in agreement from time to time.

That’s all the trivial stuff, nothing else matters.

Shi Yu thought about it and decided not to explain anything for the time being. He took out the soft armor he had just made and a handful of spirit stones and pushed them in front of Chen Er: "This is your salary."

"In the future, I will give you spirit stones and elixirs every month for cultivation. It will not be less than what you get in the sect."

Chen Er looked at the soft armor and the spirit stone. Although he had never had the chance to touch a magic weapon and therefore could not tell the good from the bad, he was no longer the young man who had just entered the Metaverse. He already had a concept of many common sense of the Metaverse.

Since it was a magic weapon, even if it was the worst one, it was not something a small outer disciple like himself with no foundation or background could possess. What's more, the soft armor in front of him was glowing with green light and colorful, and it was obvious at a glance that it was of good quality.

The price of a magic weapon soft armor is at least a hundred spirit stones. How can he have the nerve to take such a valuable thing?

After hearing Shi Yu's subsequent words, Chen Er was speechless.

After a long time, he opened his mouth and smiled bitterly: "Young Master, this... How can what Chen Er wants to do be comparable to what you give me."

What Shi Yu had just instructed were trivial matters that required little effort. Even if a cleverer mortal were to do it, he could do it properly.

Shi Yu didn't care. These things were the most indispensable to her. The time and effort Chen Er saved her by doing these things far exceeded the value of these things. Besides, since she had decided to use Chen Er, it would be troublesome if his strength was too low.

She raised her eyes calmly and said, "How can you practice without these things? When I go out to practice, I need you to help me take care of the yard. You must have some cultivation skills so that I can feel at ease and prevent villains from invading my residence."

Chen Er, however, could not get over this hurdle. After struggling for a while, he finally seemed to have figured it out. He clenched his fist and said, "After Chen Er came to the Yuanjie, he understood a lot of things. He also hoped to work hard to cultivate and gain some fortune."

"The young master has given me an opportunity. Chen Er knows that he is not worthy of what the young master has given him. He can only try his best to do what the young master has asked and let him send him. I will work hard to cultivate, guard the young master, and never betray him."

He used the word "betrayal", implying that he put himself in the position of a servant.

Shi Yu originally felt that something was wrong, but she could see that Chen Er had a resolute expression and sharp eyes, as if he was saying that if she didn't agree, he would rather not do this job.

"Whatever." Shi Yu said nothing more.

Chen Er then smiled happily, took the soft armor given to him by Shi Yu, and gestured in front of him.

"There are three restrictions on it: transformation, speed increase, and growth..." Shi Yu briefly told him about the characteristics of the soft armor, and finally said, "For the rest, you just need to slowly adapt and explore."

Chen Er nodded, put on the soft armor under his outer shirt, injected spiritual power into it, and felt the feedback from the soft armor. He felt as if it was born on his body and was a part of his body. It was very comfortable.

I was even more touched in my heart. It was very rare to find a magical weapon that matched my attributes. It must have been specially selected by the young master for me.

He chuckled foolishly, and seeing that the sun was still nice, he rolled up his sleeves to make lunch for Shi Yu.

While Yu was eating, he was not idle either. He watered the fields skillfully.

Shi Yu blinked and gave a warning: "Use the water in this wooden barrel to water the fields in the future."

After saying that, he pointed to the wooden barrel placed beside him in the corner.

This wooden barrel is filled with raw spring water and will be fixed in this position. Before Chen Er comes, just add raw spring water into it.

Chen Er didn't ask why, but nodded obediently.

Shi Yu took out another stack of talismans and gave them to Chen Er: "Take some time to go to Tongyi Pavilion and sell them to Manager Jiang. It doesn't have to be today, you can go any time you like."

Chen Er took it and saw that Shi Yu had nothing else to ask, so he said, "Sir, I won't bother you anymore. I'll go see if there are any houses to rent nearby."

Shi Yu nodded.

Watching Chen Er leave and close the gate, she sighed in comfort: "I don't have to cook and water the fields myself, it's a relief."

These worldly affairs may seem interesting at first, but over time they will inevitably interfere with your spiritual practice.

Shi Yu had some free time and planned to continue refining the weapon. The spiritual power in her dantian was not yet full. She was about to take out a dew-condensing pill to regulate her spiritual power. When she took out the jade bottle, she found that it was empty. She didn't know when she had finished eating it.

These Dew Condensing Pills were bought from Tongyi Pavilion previously. Now that she had finished eating them, she didn't plan to buy more.

Most of the Condensed Dew Pills sold in the store were low-grade Condensed Dew Pills, with many impurities and poor efficacy. Long-term use would inevitably lead to accumulation of erysipelas. Although she had the means to deal with erysipelas, she would try to avoid it if possible to save herself from wasting time.

Since he looked down upon the pills sold in the store, he decided to make his own living.

She took out the three spiritual plants she bought at Tongyi Pavilion last time, and the alchemy furnace she had made herself, and Shi Yu began her first alchemy in this world.

"Jade Dew Grass, Qi Gathering Grass, Half Orchid..." She looked at these hundreds of spiritual plants and found that they looked even fresher and more energetic than when she first bought them.

Even if they were just stored in the Yin-Yang Life-Knocking Bell and not planted in the medicinal field next to the spring, these spiritual plants still benefited somewhat from being influenced by the spiritual energy inside.

"That's perfect. The drug's effectiveness will be even better."
